Water stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business involves sourcing, treating, distributing or conserving water—ranging from municipal utilities and desalination plants to wastewater-management and water-technology providers. Because water is a fundamental and non-discretionary resource, these companies often exhibit relatively stable cash flows and are viewed by many investors as a defensive or “must-have” component of a diversified portfolio. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Water stocks within the last several days.
